snd-hda-intel: no sound

hi to all

i've been working on this problem for a week now, and still nothing.
i've got an audio problem with my notebook acer aspire 1640 wlmi
i have configured my card (an HDA Intel card with Realtek ALC260 chip) with alsaconf (recognized as hda-intel card), after that i've setting up volumes with alsamixer command (and saved by alsactl store) but when i try to launch any audio player (mpg321, xmms, vlc) i see the song's playing, but hear no sounds.

i try to apply some solutions appears on this (but not also) forum (per example adding parameter model=xxx to modprobe command), but with no success.

i've tried to compile alsa drivers in the kernel (as built-in or modules) and also tried to compiling alsa-driver source separately, but things remains the same.
ah, and also added my user to the audio group

i really appreciate anyone who will give me any suggestions about this.

Re: snd-hda-intel: no sound

Hi there, well I had a similar problem, so maybe I can help. I just bought a new motherboard with a Realtek ALC880 that also has HD audio. With alsa 1.0.10 I couldn't get any sound, even though I could load all the sound modules as you have. What I did was go to the alsa website and download the sourcecode for alsa-lib and alsa-drivers for release 1.0.11rc1 (release candidate 1). You have to compile and install them - really easy read the INSTALL files in each one.
Now the HD audio works really well. I did remove the Arch package alsa 1.0.10 first, but I'm not sure if I had to or not. If you read the changelog for the alsa 1.0.11 files, you will see that they added autoprobe support for your card so this might do it.

Re: snd-hda-intel: no sound

that realtek driver you suggest simply contains alsa-driver, alsa-lib ad alsa-utils (version is 1.0.9b, so not so up to date), plus an install script that automatically decompress and installs all.i've already tried these drivers (and also latest development version, 1.0.11rc1, like suggested by nirvanix) but with no results, things remain exactly the same
